BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Ward Laboratory was built in the 1960s for instruction and research in the field of nuclear engineering, first in Cornell's School of Applied and Engineering Physics and then as the Nuclear Science and Engineering Program. In 1995 the College of Engineering disbanded the program, but in 1997 the Lab became the Ward Center for Nuclear Sciences, a campus-wide center. Howard Aderhold was the center director from 1962 until 2006. The TRIGA (teaching, research, isotope, General Atomics) Mark II nuclear reactor was decommissioned in 2001.
